Ready

and nothing happened after

i choose text or graphic but i got the same thing

i succeed install other server with the same CD

did someone already had this problem?

One thing worth checking with Dell PowerEdge equipment is that the SCSI controllers firmware is up to date. I had this exact same issue with a PE2300 recently. Upgrading the firmware, as well as manually loading the required megaraid driver worked for that machine.

I don't remember off hand what controller card the 1650 has in it, but if it is an older PERC card then you have to coax it a bit. I made some posts over the last two weeks about PERC cards and Dell hardware, so have a look at them if you still have a problem.
